The effect of low‐level microwave exposure, 2,450 MHz, at a power density of 1 mW/cm 2 and specific absorption rate of 1.2 mW/g, continuous waves (CW) or pulsed waves (PW), 2.5 h/day, 6 sessions/week until death (up to 690 h of irradiation), has been studied in black C57/6J mice with B16 melanoma. The results show that no significant effects are observed on tumor development or on survival times compared to controls, or between CW‐ and PW‐treated animals.
